The year has been full of incredible fantasy debuts and what better way to round up the year than with another one? This time it is a book inspired by Filipino mythology, full of vibrant colours and strong characters. The Hurricane Wars by Thea Guanzon was released in October 2023 and probably has one of the most beautiful covers I have seen in years, and that’s saying something when I look at some of the books I have added to my collection over the last 18 months. It’s a beautiful story of enemies who must work together in order to prevent the end of their world. It also includes a lot of the romantic tropes that make many readers happy; enemies to lovers, forced marriage, undeniable chemistry…So, what did I think when I read this book after receiving it in a subscription box? Give it a listen and find out! Remember, I won’t spoil the ending.
